		Notes
		
			
- Use natural peanut butter for a cleaner ingredient list, but ensure it’s not too runny.
 
- Substitute M&Ms with dried fruit or nuts for a healthier version.
 
- Add a scoop of protein powder to make them more filling.
 
- If mixture is too sticky, add a bit more oats; if too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter.
